Effexor side effects are some of the most horrifying experiences a person can go through.
The pain, the loneliness, the absolute terror that Effexor sometimes produces can test the very sanity of those who are forced to endure these Effexor side effects. Of course, not everyone has side effects from Effexor. Some users love Effexor, and what it has done to help relieve their symptoms of anxiety or depression.
Hopefully you’re one of those people.

One more side effect not yet mentioned is the ‘brain shivers’ that can occur with Effexor and Effexor XR. This horrifying side effect can also occur as a withdrawal symptom – continuing long after the ‘medicine’ is discontinued. With brain shivers, when you turn you head, if feels like your brain hesitates before turning with the rest of the head.
When it does move, each brain movement produces ‘static’ sensations, with electric shocks running throughout the body. Different people experience different variations of this side effect. In addition to these many problems, you may have your own unique Effexor side effects. Over time, more and more side effects keep showing up.
